To me, "Replace All" replacing all matches and not some of all, is the obvious and correct behavior. If I wanted to have a button that replaced some matches, I would call it "Replace some".

And changing it would just mean that lots of users like me would then be confused and I would have to deal them instead. Since, in either case there are going to be confused users, I prefer to have to proffer explanations I actually believe in.
